Patient Reviews
Mar 04, 2017
Dr.Gooden is a skilled surgeon with a caring heart. I was very aprehensive about having surgery and heard all the gossip & rumors about the medical care here! And haven't had to have any surgical procedures in this state and let Dr.Gooden know my fears the very first visit, if a Dr was going to be rude and arrogant to a patient I was His opportunity! But he was kind, reassuring, caring & explained everything! He is the only Surgeon who will ever operate on me! His staff is excellent just as he!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
